I have no problem with people illegally downloading stuff. I'm not going to drive hard into 'You should buy my stuff,' because really, it's inevitable. If you like a song, you're going to download it for free. I have no problem with that.

Illegal downloading, digital cheating, and cutting and pasting other people's stuff may be easy, but that doesn't make those activities right.

If you are extremely well known and have a very desirable product, then yes, you probably do suffer a bit from piracy, in the same way that if you make a lot of money, you pay more in taxes than if you don't make any money.

I was hooked in before hacking was even illegal.

People downloading my stories from the bit torrent sites were never going to buy them anyway. It's no money out of my pocket.

Let's say I was a plumber, or I worked at a factory, I would download music, you feel what I'm saying?

I never download anything; it's crazy! We must keep buying albums and DVDs.

All the money I have, I got it legally.

Would you go into a CD store and steal a CD? It's the same thing, people going into the computers and loggin' on and stealing our music.
